Cindy is by far the best recruiter I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She takes the time to learn about her clients and their previous roles so that she is able to communicate their abilities to hiring managers effectively. She's extremely friendly, thorough in her questions and follows through with her commitments. She also really listens to the needs of her clients which enables her to negotiate salaries and other benefits on their behalf. I hope to never need a recruiter again but if I do I know that I can count on Cindy to help further my career goals. Thank you Cindy!!
